I touch opportunities with greatness.  My vision is clear for creating borderless communities transforming traditional communities.

You can poke around here or at my contemporary weaving website www.samoanweavinghq.com to get a feel for who I am.  In a nutshell.  I am contrary to popular belief.  There are many opinions about what a typical Samoan woman ought to be, do or say.  I am none of them.  My forty years on this earth indicates otherwise.

Here's a brief of where I am at right now (and subject to change much like this weather)
*  Currently working on two wedding projects through my weaving skills and ability with curling ribbon.  Yes, I know.  Not traditional.

*  Oz Kiwi voluntary representative for a campaign to remove and restore residency entitlements to those impacted by the Australian government ammendement effected on 26th of February 2001.  More information and to support my family and I at www.ozkiwi2001.org

*  Weekly involvement in the local community to create a Pacific Islander calendar of events and provide workshops.

*  Nominated artist for mentoring support to a young Pacific Island student majoring in Visual Arts.

*  Hanging out and breaking things on Google plus with the help of +Ronnie Bincer and being supported by a like minded community +Plus your business.

*  Blogging at www.samoanweavinghq.com when my hands aren't weaving.

*  Working on a program to empower Pacific Island women.

*  Throw words around attempting poetry with weaving true words - Lalaga Upu Moni and is dedicated to my mother who has always reminded me of my stubbornness and sharp tongue. 

*  Cooking and cleaning moderately while running a household of seven with plenty of love and room for regular drop ins.  Just make sure you call and be prepared to cut ribbon while we chat.  You may also learn to weave if you so wish.
